at our last camp. This morning during a 3 hour walk the
following birds were noted: Cooper Hawk, 1; Sparrow Hawk, 1;
Grouse, 1; Williamson Sapsucker, 3; Hairy Woodpecker, 4;
Mountain Blue Bird, 2; Nuthatch, 6+; Robin, 5;
Chickadee, 8+; Western Tanager, 2; Bendire's Crossbill, 3;
Red-breasted Nuthatch, 5+; Clarke's Nutcracker, 4+; Audubon
Warbler, 4; Calaveras Warbler, 3+; Evening Grosbeak, 3;
Golden-crowned Kinglet, 2; Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 5+; Pine Siskin,
3; Western Chipping Sparrow, 10+; Fox Sparrow, 5+;
Cassin's Purple Finch, 4+; Oregon Junco, 1; Green-tailed
Towhee, 1(3); Wright Flycatcher 4+; Olive-sided Flycatcher, 5+.
I shot a Williamson Sapsucker that was clinging to
the side of a Fir first, then flew to a Yellow Pine.
Olive-sided Flycatchers were heard calling throughout most of the day than any other species. Miller found a
Ruby Kinglet's nest next to camp in a Fir branch out near
the tip 18 ft. above the ground. Previously I was observing a Kinglet singing in that vicinity from the upper
portion of small Ledge Pole Pine & Fir trees. It was
not seen more than 50 yards from the nest. At 11:05 a.m.
a bird was seen to enter the nest & emerge 2 min. later.
At 2 p.m. one was seen to enter nest. Gopher workings
that are old are extremely numerous, but fresh work-
ings are scarce. I managed to get out 4 sets this a.m.
Last night I placed out 15 mouse last night & caught
1 Peromyscus maniculatus. Placed out a number more
this a. m. Shot 2 Red Squirrels, both in Firs.
